Just a wake surfboard. My girlfriends dad is the CFO of Slingshot Sports (creator of that board, and many other kiteboarding/water sports products) so I had some people ride that board and snapped some shots of it for em

Had a bit of a tragedy a while back. My Canon 1DS Mark III was water damaged beyond repair due to accidentally being placed under a wet cloth. My 1d IV survived the same treatment due to having no cracks in the rear LCD, and not missing the small rubber, circular cover on the right side. I might be dumb enough ruin a $7000 camera, but not dumb enough to not have insurance. Thanks to TCP insurance, I will be able to replace my III in the very near future. I would suggest insurance to everyone who cares about their camera gear. They saved my tail! Kinda a bummer I put my gear in dangerous shooting situations weekly, and have never had any catastrophic damage while actually shooting. Just while half asleep and forgetting where my cameras were...:/ Either way, here are some photos of the carnage, enjoy!

I'll post the photos from my gallery show as well as my last few weeks of shooting later tonight!

It was covered by a wet towel thing all night, and it sorta created a pool. The rear LCD screen had a small crack in it as well as the rubber plug on the side was missing and just taped shut. The 1d IV was undamaged and sitting right next to it.

Photos!
Gallery show, had a couple hundred people through out the night
Girlfriends sister and friend
Kitboarding, tough as nails to shoot, still working on it, need to shoot more
Climbed up waterfalls and ****, barefoot!
